E.S. Posthumus was an independent music group that produced film trailer
style music. Their style is a form of 21st-century classical music that intertwines popular style drum rhythms with orchestral and
electronic sounds. Their music is inspired by the Pythagorean philosophy
which states that "music is the harmonization of opposites; the
conciliation of warring elements". The E.S. is an acronym for
"Experimental Sounds" while Posthumus is a Dog Latin word that is meant
to represent "all things past".
The group was formed in 2000 by
brothers Helmut and Franz Vonlichten. Helmut and Franz studied piano
with their mother. After graduating from high school, Franz worked in
recording studios while Helmut attended and graduated from UCLA, with a
degree in archaeology. Their music has been licensed by many movie and
television production studios, being included in numerous movie trailers
and television shows. E.S. Posthumus released three albums overall in
their career.
On July 22, 2010, it was officially announced that
Franz died about two months before. After giving notice of his brother's
death, Helmut stated that while there still may be one or two
unreleased songs (One of them being their single "Christmas Eve"
released in November 2010), the group would no longer be active. In
November 2011, it was officially announced that Helmut Vonlichten has
formed a new band called Les Friction, and released a preview at his new
work with a track called "Torture"
